With Eagles QB Donovan McNabb saying the NFC East title goes through Philadelphia, the Cowboys showed up at the Linc and ran all over the road trouncing the Eagles 38-17.
In Cowboys news, the Cowboys lost their team chaplain John Weber, who passed away last Thursday afternoon after suffering a heart attack. Tank Johnson was activated to the roster after his 8 game suspension was lifted and the some Cowboys players go out and do some good in the community, as they helped serve an “early” Thanksgiving dinner to more than 200 men and women at the The Salvation Army’s homeless shelter in Dallas.
The Good:
The Offense Striking Early: For only the second time this year, the Cowboys offense scored early getting not one, but two TDs in the 1st quarter against the Eagles. The first TD came after McNabb fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, and the second TD came on the Cowboys 2nd possession, just after the Eagles had tied the score 7-7.
The Good: Part II
WR Terrell Owens: Owens came back to Philly not just a self proclaimed captain as head coach Wade Phillips made him a captain for this game. T.O. delivered and earned this weeks game ball with his 10 catch, 174 yards and 1 TD performance.
The Bad:
Garbage Time: What happens when you get a huge lead, and you don’t want to rub it in the face of your opponent? Your opponent gets to put some yards up against your defense in garbage time. The Eagles, being down 38-10 did manage to score a meaningless TD late in the game, and RB Brian Westbrook caught 7 of his 14 receptions late in the 4th quarter when the game was no longer in question.
The Ugly:
Injuries: The Cowboys lost rookie fullback Deon Anderson. Anderson was placed on IR after this game as he suffered a torn rotator cuff against the Eagles.
